I want to use mouse buttons on screen corners to perform certain actions.

Specifically, I want to use the mouse wheel: -on the bottom left corner to raise and lower the sound volume; -and on the top right corner to make page up and page down.

In Linux, such tasks can be easily done, for example using a script like this or using Compiz.

How can I do this on Windows 10?

edit: I can't code or build scripts.

You could program something like this easily. I recommend using C#. Setup a project with a low-level Mouse Hook and start Coding. If you can't program, ask a friend who can ;)

The term for this is "Hot Corners", where actions are attributed to corners, and you need a third-party product for that since Windows does not support it.

The article 6 Free Tools to Enable and Customize Hot Corners in Windows lists these products:

See the linked article for details about installing and using each of the products, and try them out.

For controlling the sound you may use NirCmd (see examples).

For sending Page-Up/Down you may use AutoHotkey with two one-liner scripts, each script containing one of the two commands below:

Send {PgUp}

Send {PgDn}

  • I tried them all but unfortunately none of them does what I need. – pamartins Jul 08 '19 at 10:01
  • Most allow running a program or script, which can be used for doing anything, including sound levels and sending keyboard keys. – harrymc Jul 08 '19 at 10:07
  • Unfortunately I not have the necessary knowledge to do such a thing. Is there a way to modify the script I mentioned in my initial post so it runs on Windows? – pamartins Jul 10 '19 at 05:22
  • I added information about that part. – harrymc Jul 10 '19 at 08:23
  • What is missing is the part of those commands only being executed if I use the mouse wheel on the corner, for what I understand I could assign those commands to a corner but they would be executed every time that the mouse pointer is on the corner and not only when I move the mouse wheel up or down on the corner. – pamartins Jul 10 '19 at 21:38
  • If none of the products suits you, you would need to write your own. – harrymc Jul 11 '19 at 06:02
